Control of pitch angle of turbine blades is among the controlling methods in the wind turbines; this measure is taken for managing mechanical power generated by wind turbine in different wind velocities. Taking into account the high significance of the power generated by wind turbine and due to the fact that better performance of pitch angle is followed by better quality of turbine-generated power, it is therefore crucially important to optimize the performance of this controller. In the current paper, a PI controller is primarily used to control the pitch angle, and then another controller is designed and replaces PI controller through applying a new strategy i.e. alternating two ADALINE neural networks. According to simulation results, performance of controlling system improves in terms of response speed, response ripple, and ultimately, steady tracing error. The highly significant feature of the proposed intelligent controller is the considerable stability against variations of wind velocity and system parameters.

본 논문은 피치를 추출하는 방법으로 자기상관을 이용하였다. 시간과 주파수 영역의 자기상관은 서로 다른 특성을 가지고 있으며, 각각 피치주기와 기본주파수에 대응된다. 본 논문에서는 시간과 주파수 영역에서의 자기상관을 결합하는 방법을 이용하였다. 이 방법은 자기상관에서 발생하는 피치 doubling과 having 에러를 크게 개선시킬 수 있었다. 하지만, 시간과 주파수 영역에서 유성음의 주기적 특성인 피치주기와 기본주파수는 서로 역수 관계이며, 특히 기본주파수의 에러는 FFT의 분해능에 의하여 발생된다. 이러한 영향을 줄이기 위하여 시간 영역과 주파수 영역에서의 자기상관 결합에 보간법을 적용함으로써 피치 검출율을 향상 시킬 수 있었다. 자기상관을 결합할 때 시간영역에서 찾은 피치후보들에 대해서만 주파수영역의 자기상관을 구함으로써 계산량은 감축될 수 있었다. 또한, 선형보간을 이용하여 기존방법 보다 FFT 계수를 8배 줄일 수 있었다. 그 결과, FFT 연산량과 주파수영역의 자기상관 계산량을 크게 감축하여 기존 방법 대비 알고리즘 처리시간을 약 9.5배 줄일 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of Chinese high and level vs. rising tone on the pitch pattern of corresponding Sino-Korean words delivered by Chinese learners of Korean and to examine the aspects how these two tones of corresponding Chinese words affect the pitch patterns of Sino-Korean words. Scope of this research is limited to the Chinese learners of Korean, especially when they pronounce same-form-same-meaning Sino-Korean words. In this study, Chinese learners pronounced both Chinese words and corresponding Sino-Korean words. By using the software learners' pitch pattern were recorded, analyzed, and compared with the tone of corresponding Chinese words. Experimental results showed that Sino-Korean words were affected by Chinese 'high and level tone - high and level tone', 'high and level tone - rising tone', 'high and level tone - falling-rising tone', 'high and level tone - falling tone' and 'rising tone - falling tone' when they started with lenis sounds. On the other hand when Sino-Korean words started with aspirated sounds they were affected by Chinese 'rising tone - high and level tone', 'rising tone - rising tone', 'rising tone - falling-rising tone', 'rising tone - falling tone'. In conclusion, the Chinese learners' pitch patterns of Sino-Korean words are affected by both Chinese high and level & rising tone, especially when Sino-Korean words started with lenis sounds they were more affected by Chinese high and level tone, on the other hand Chinese rising tone influence Sino-Korean words more when they were started with aspirated sounds.

For volumetric error measurement and calibration for machine tools, manufacturing machine or coordinate measuring machine (CMM), are studied using a Ball-bar artifact. A design of the Ball-bar is suggested manufactured by Invar, which is a low thermal expansion material, and precision steel balls. The uncertainty for the artifact method is discussed. A method of the Ball-bar artifact for obtaining 3-D position errors in CMM is proposed. The method of error vector measurement is shown using the Ball-bar artifact. Finally, the volumetric error is calculated from the error vectors and it can be used for Pitch error compensation in conventional NC machine and 3-D position Error map for calibration of NC machine tools.

본 논문에서는 풍력발전기의 회전속도와 출력을 제어하기 위한 블레이드 피치 제어기 및 발전기 토크 제어 기법을 제시하고 비선형 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 성능을 확인하였다. 회전속도 오차 및 출력오차를 이용한 양한정 함수를 정의하고 리아프노프 안정성 이론을 적용하여 정적 피치 제어기와 동적 토크 제어기를 설계하고, 제어기 설계 모델과 실제 적용 모델간의 차이를 보상할 수 있도록 시뮬레이션 기반 최적화를 이용하여 설계 인자 값을 결정하였다. 풍력발전기 제어기 설계에 가장 많이 사용되는 동력 전달계 모델을 기반으로 제어기 설계 절차를 예시하였고, 대표적으로 사용되는 비례-적분-미분 제어 및 최대 출력점 추종 토크 제어기와 성능 비교를 통하여 제안된 제어 설계 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 스펙트럼 신호를 최대한 평탄화시킴으로써 포만트의 영향을 제거하고 고조파 성분을 분리해 내어 이를 피치검출에 사용한다. 스펙트럼 신호로부터 포만트의 영향과 천이진폭의 영향을 제거하기 위해 주파수 대역을 LSP(Line Spectrum Pair)를 기준으로 서브밴드로 나누고 각각의 서브밴드에서 기울기를 취한 후에 역기울기로 스펙트럼을 보상한다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법이 LPC법, Lifter법, Cepstrum법을 이용하여 평탄화시킬 때 보다 평탄화 정도가 좋아짐을 알 수 있다. 또한 제안한 방법 이외에 가장 양호한 성능을 나타낸 LPC법을 이용하여 피치를 구했을 때 제안한 방법의 조오율이 평균 1.30% 감소하였다. 또한 제안한 방법은 잡음을 부가한 음성의 경우에도 낮은 에러율을 보여 배경잡음에 강하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper an error analysis of 3-dimensional GNSS attitude determination system is given. The attitude error covariance matrix is derived and analyzed. It implies that attitude errors are affected by the baseline length and configuration, the satellites numbers and geometry, receiver measurement noises and the nominal attitude of the vehicle. By defining Euler Angle Dilution Of Precision (EADOP) which is analogous to GDOP, roll, pitch and yaw errors can be efficiently analyzed. However the expression of the attitude error is too complex to get some intuitions. Therefore with a commonly adopted assumption, new expressions for attitude error are derived. The formulas are easy to compute and represent the attitude error as a function of the nominal attitude of a vehicle, the baseline configuration and the receiver noise. Using the formula, the accuracy of the attitude can be analytically predicted without the computer simulations. Applications to some widely used configurations reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a coarse alignment algorithm for strapdown inertial navigation system is proposed and evaluated analytically. The algorithm computes roll and pitch angles of the vehicle using accelerometer outputs, and then determines yaw angle with gyro outputs. It is referred, as two-step coarse alignment in this work. With the geometric relation between sensor outputs and roll, pitch and yaw angles, the algorithm error is analytically derived and compared with the previous coarse alignment algorithm introduced by Britting. The results show that the proposed two-step coarse alignment algorithm has better performance for pitch angle computation.

This study proposes a new screw measurement system that is capable of measuring the pitch or lead of a screw, which is one of the most important parameters representing the screw quality. There are various conventional methods for screw measurement including some mechanical and optical ones, but they can not be applied to measure the lead except the profiles or sizes. The newly suggested method is able to measure the pitch or lead directly. This is executed by scanning the thread with a digital probe while the target screw rotates. The devised measurement system is a integrated computer system which is composed of a stepping motor, a digital linear gauge and a chuck device for holding the measured screw. In order to operate the system effectively and conveniently, a computer program having graphical user interface facility is developed. Some experiments were done to prove the effectiveness of the system.

IMBE(Improved Multi-Band Excitation) vocoders exhibit good performance at low data rates. The major drawback to IMBE coders is their large computational requirements. In this paper, thus, we propose a new pitch search method that preserves the quality of the IMBE vocoder with reduced complexity. The basic idea is to skip unnecessary range of the pitch searching by using the quantization error. Applying the proposed method to the IMBE vocoder, we can get approximately $45.88\%$ processing time reduction and there is no difference in voice quality between conventional IMBE and proposed IMBE.
